The RIPP SC causes my engine to generate so much heat, I can barely touch the hood latch when opening the engine bay after I've been running around a bit. Would love to do something to alleviate the heat buildup. Thought about an AEV hood, but grief . . . that's a lot of money and effort just to gain lower engine bay temps.

Yep, I agree about the AEV. Just re-read my post, "more stronger". I promise I am educated...
About the under hood temps, I am about to add a transmission and power steering cooler, the psc one,I wonder if that will increase temps under the hood? Or even engine temps??

Theoretically yes, if they block the radiator like my RIPP SC intercooler. I'm probably going to buy some "Water Wetter" for the radiator after I learn more about its capabilities to lower radiator/engine temps.

Close to what I was considering. We'll have to plan a meet-up to hash out the details with respect to parts, labor, and availability of Jordon's awesome man-cave.
Jordon, how proficient are you at painting, say something like a JK hood with aftermarket louvers installed?
